Airbus Increases The Range Of The A220-300
Airbus is planning to offer an additional range increase on its largest A220, the A220-300. The increase will be offered from the middle of this year and will add some 200 nautical miles to the range of the narrowbody jet. (simpleflying.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I forsee more non planned fuel stops in Gander coming from Europe if they're using this plane. Been like that with the 727 wiht strong headwinds. although I don't see why you would use a small plane like this on such a long connection, especially big hubs like AMS..
Are they raising the max landing weight too?
BACO ruined it's own world-class reputation, at the highest cost - human lives !!!!!!!
They will NEVER get my respect again!

They will be just fine without negativity.
Absolutely, I’ll never fly the Max nor the east coat dreamliner
Airbus will ruin a good airplane once more, this will hinder the performance of the A220
They’re increasing the certified max allowable takeoff weight by 1 tonne, without making any physical changes to the aircraft. All other things being equal (which they seldom are), an A220-300 loaded up to the new MTOW will not perform as well as the exact same airplane loaded to the previous 1-tonne-lighter MTOW: it’ll need more runway for takeoff, won’t climb quite as well, etc. So what? That’s not irreparably hindering performance and certainly does not “ruin a good airplane.”
Which other airplane did Airbus ruin? Bombardier/airbus is the best there is for short/medium range ops. It will still be that for many years to come.
